OFFICIAL PAPER OF THE COUNTY OGDEN CANYON. wae within two Turk or Chicago New miles of hundred some fellow would fence It lit and charge five dollars admission to it. And at that you couldn't get In only once In a while, ao great would the lie tlie rush. It la one of the natural wonders of the 'West, and It ought to be advertised far and wide, because It Is an attraction that should cause thousands to stop off here every year who the dly without go light through knowing that within thirty minutes they can drive up a boulevard that u as fins as any road In Central park. New York City, and see scenery so grand In lta character as to make them gap In wonder and astonishment. When Nature had the throe that made this canyon there must have been a great tearing up of things. The forces that forced the bed uf the ocean upwards and stood on end the sedimentary formations that now stand there, almost perpendicular, could have been nothing save of the mlghtteat character. Boms of It came from away below the depths, too, aa la evidenced by the changes here and there, where the tremendous power shoved to the surface, despite all oppoaltnn, strataa of accumulation that had reposed beneath alnoe the morning of creation's birth. What a roaring, snapping, cracking epoch that was! There was no muslo In that happening. It was choaa having a frolic. If there was animal life around In the vicinity It made tracks If Ogden canyon . for other localities; that's a safe venture. But after tearing up the surface of the earth In that faahlon the demon of convulsion wasnt at all satisfied. Having uplifted a great mass of all aorta of geological formation ha held It there for a million of years or mors and then let It drop again. The fall cracked open the mighty range, and, behold, the canyon! This done, ha went away to try his hand some other place. But he must have been tired with hie first effort, because nowhere In this empire of ocenlo effect la there anything that holds a candle to Ogden canyon. With the passing of the force that created thla ' splendid chasm In the range came the kindly one that not by upheaval, but by constant and painstaking care. This latter one must be feminine gender, for the work la always beautiful; has a sort of melody attached to It. Down through the gorge she sent a stream of water which today roars and tumbles over its flinty course, dashing spray In every diroc-tol- n and saying to all who look upon It: "Gaxe upon ms In my might and authority." Only for a time, however. Boon, very soon, this noisy declamation will be changed to a love ditty, and at night as the campers retire to rest, the river will croon a cradle song beneath the stars. The waterfall that .daahes down the aide will enter Into lta embrace with a happy sigh of content and down over the boulders and through the cuts of conglomerate, river and spring stream will mingle their voices In a lullaby. The river was not the only attractive feature added, however. I'p on the Immense ledges and over the slopes this mistress In the art of painting landscapes spread a carpet of green. Here and there through this emerald mantle she has caused the wild flowers of the Utah hills to bloom In rare profusion. You can aee the white blossoms on the wild cherry smiling a good morning to the bluebells, while the golden rod nods the dog berry an early sunrise salute. Far and away up the precipitous sides stand the evergreen trees like sentinels mounting guard over the waters, and the shrubbery below, and the whole combine to make a picture beyond the skill of artlst'a brush or the lmperfcet faah-lon- x. language of descriptive writer. Alan has assisted nature In making ibis marvel even more beautiful Along lie duelling stream and past the thousands of springs that aend their crye-i:- il threads out from the rocka In one ci'initiued gurgle of laughter, he has hm intruded a roadway that la a delight. Ample for three or four vehicles to at any point, it la one of the finest In the world The once tangled drivc-has been cut out and the iihlie tents gleam In the moonlight, n hile floating over the still ar of evening one nmy hear the thrum of the guitar and the sweet-voice- d singers who mtve gniie Into the canyon to commune with the comnuin mother and at her hiinds receive the rest and obtain the the city does not and cun not afford. He has done mure. Within the confines of tills place ot giuiideur he has erected, and is yet electing, magnificent hotels and places f entertainment. Electric bells summon servants the same as they do In the best caravansaries in the larger cities. Sumptuous apolntineiits of all kinds greet the eye. A menu that would make the chef at he Waldorf-Astori- a green with envy is common liv. lng. Think of getting brook trout for every meal In the day. If you want them! Think also of getting them as Philadelphia man cheaply as a gets his mackerel or a Bostonian geta hla codfish. Think of entering a dining room with a seating capacity of two or three hundred In a place like that. Think of being able to step twenty step from the hotel door and landing a trout weighing a pound or two. . This canyon ought to be advertised far und near, with the best illustrations that can be procured, and even then many would fall to comprehend them. More stupendous and magnificent than the Royal gorge, more accessible than the Canyon of the Grand, with a beauty g, this rare and an aspect place Is one of the rare places In the world that every person ougnt to see mice In a lifetime at least. It la one of the very few. If not solitary by Itself, where the visitor can roll through In an autocar, or Jog up slowly on the back of a burro. Within Ogden canyon he can live primitively, like an Indian, In a tepee, or walk fifty paces and fare like a millionaire In a first-clahotel. He can put on waders and be a thorough sportsman, or fish from the bank like a laxy man, and catch fish either way. He can climb the hills like an Alpine tourist and get flowers as rare, and as dangerous to secure, ae the eldelwelss, or send the hired man up after them. Ogden Is surely blest with this can yon so close by, and If the people here do not appreciate It, then indeed are they callous to what Creation has done for them. 1 s u'ldi-rgroui- awe-inspirin- aa USEFULNESS OF THE TOAD. He la an r'ce of life a toad, and he Is not generally liked. Small boys wage war on him and little girls are afraid of him. Not so, however, with the United States govern ment. Through the department of agri culture he Is being advertised ae a friend of the farmer and farmers' Bui letln No. Iff, entitled "Usefulness of the American Toad," contains sixteen pages of printed matter devoted to hie life, hie habits hla useful existence, hla enemies and hie friends. It appears that the toad has an occupation that la Important; that he was placed here for a purpose and, because of his many deadly foes he and hla kind have to multiply exceedingly In order to keep the breed going. According to the assertions of the eminent writer who has prepared this treatise on toads, he has always borne the burden of a false and even ludlo roue misrepresentations. We have adopted In their entirety the principal European traditions concerning the toad, aa set forth by the early writers on natural history. These ancient savants. who did so much to establish the study of nature, had the falling, not confined to that age, of confounding fancy with fact. Thus the popular su perstltlnns of ihnt time are curiously Interwoven with their statements con turning the life, history and habits of the tnd. Their early writings on this subject term with vague and ludicrous fancies of tlte tomls venomous quail tics. Its medicinal virtues, and more commonly of the valuable loadstone or Jewel to be found In Its head. All these traditions are to be met with even In this era of progress, and coupled with them we hear of the equally surprising ability of the toad to produce warts on the hands; to poison Infanta by Its breath; to bring good fortune to the house In whose new-macellar It takes up Its abode, and, fins My, to cause bloody milk In cows If killed by accident or design. The writer well recalls the shock his credulity received when In the Inquisitive stage of boyhood he faithfully tested several of these superstitions, with only negative results.. When so much that la false has been written about the toad It may not be amiss to Increase the scanty literature of facts concerning this humble servant of man as determined by a somewhat Intimate acquaintance extending over a decade or more. It Is stated that the belief that the toad is venomous arises from Its habit, when disturbed or roughly handled, to eject through the skin of an acrid se ugly-lookl- la de cretlon.

Raymond Manlon, as Paul Freeman, the American who wins out In Bolivia In spite of conspiracies agamst his life, gave a creditable Interpretation of the part. The work of G. M. Kohler as Clay Arendell, the plotting Bolivian, will be much better after the lines have been thoroughly mastered. For one piece of stage business he is deserving of special mention this week, and that Is in the third act In the prison scene where he falls from the top of a table after having looked out of the barred window and receiving the shot Intended for Freeman. The fall was remarkably well done. Much of the comedy element of the show was furnished by O. M. Paul aa Dickey Doodle, an Irrepressible Yank always there with both feet His humor Is of the Infectious kind. The work of A. R. Harvey as Bill Barlow and Edwin Taylor aa Don Romeso, a Bolivian governor, was good. Mon da Glendauer as Dot Lee was pleasing as usual. The characterisation of an old hag by Tes-sl- e Cardelle was well done. Her work was enthusiastically applauded.

Heretofore Mis Alton ha always been seen In riiaraeter pan but her work last night was quite able.
